The miracles of Our Lord
Henry Noel Humphreys, an English illuminator, produced this 1848 London book published by Longman for devotional readers, reproducing the Gospel miracles in imitation of medieval manuscripts. The pages show gospel text in black-letter columns framed by painted borders, with small saint figures and scenes in gold, red, blue and green that a designer could borrow for decorative framing, border ornament and historicist colour schemes.
